Hello
I have an issue updating a Windows 2012 server named \\Janus. \\Janus hosts the Enterprise Console.
The following message appears in the console for the host server:Code: 0000006bDescription: Download of SAVNT failed from server \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\
These are the last few entries in the ALC.log file:0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0x15bc 0x1 0xc0 0x1498 0x5d511ef60x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x6 0x1e10 0x5d5120740x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512074 SAVNT \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x8 0x1e10 0x5d5120740x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512075 SophosEndpointDefense \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120750x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512075 SophosAutoUpdate \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120750x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512076 SophosSystemProtection \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120760x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512077 SophosNetworkThreatProtection \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120770x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512078 SophosHitmanProAlert \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\OPMHMPA0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120780x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x55 0x1e10 0x5d512079 SophosClean \\JANUS\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\OPMHMPA0x4 CIDUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x23 0x1e10 0x5d5120790x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x52 0x1e10 0x5d51207a0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosSystemProtection0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosEndpointDefense0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosHitmanProAlert0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosClean0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosNetworkThreatProtection0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0x53 0x1e10 0x5d51207a SophosAutoUpdate0x4 ALUpdate 0x32 0xbd4 0x1 0xc0 0x1e10 0x5d51207b

is correct as a sub folder named sav does not exist on \\Janus:

I have tried right-clicking the Sophos icon in the Notiification Area and initiating an update, and have also tried updating from the Enterprise Console but both methods fail.
All other clients and servers are updating successfully. Note that I presently have a support case open with the Sophos escalation team regarding system freezes so I don't know if that may have abearing on this (but \\Janus has not experienced these freezes).
Does anyone have any suggestions I might try to remedy this, please?
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
My suspicion is that the machine is attempting to install Sophos Anti-virus for Windows NT based on the error. What we want is the machine to pull down Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows XP/2000+ instead. Try the following:1. Turn off Tamper Protection on the machine.
2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\
3. Make a backup of iupd.cfg
4. Open up an administrative notepad and modify iupd.cfg
5. Swap the value of Action for the following:
;SAV 2k = [iProductData.{E17FE03B-0501-4aaa-BC69-0129D965F311}]AllowLocalConfig = 1Action = 0x400007
;SAV NT4[iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]AllowLocalConfig = 1Action = 0x400000
6. Force an update on the machine.
In reply to MEric:
Hello MEric and thank you for replying.
Apologies for the late response.
I made the changes you suggested and ran an update and it now seems to have worked.
The cfg file was edited as follows:
Change from:;SAV NT4[iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]AllowLocalConfig = 1Action = 0x400007
Change to:;SAV NT4[iProductData.{7998C326-2CA5-4830-B7D2-B792D2460975}]AllowLocalConfig = 1Action = 0x400000
As soon as I forced an update Sophos requested a restart to finish the update.
Thank you very much for your help.
